Questions? You're in the right place

General

  • We may still be able to produce a quote for you for you based on factors such as age, condition, brand etc. We would still require images.

  • We'll be unable to produce a valuation for the goods which is consistent with its said value. We would advise obtaining either original documentation or images for your goods.

  • No. Pearlly does not accept any goods that come under the counterfeit or replica bracket. Any goods seen to be unauthenticated will be rejected. If the goods are already in our possession before we find out about the counterfeit nature - we will ask you to arrange their collection. After a period of two weeks they will be disposed of.

  • We don't tend to accept goods that we can't sell. Although we do not accept every piece that comes our way, we do specialise in a number of luxury industries with generous exposure within the sphere.

    However, if we aren't sufficiently confident we can achieve sales of your goods, we will politely let you know early on.

    In the unusual event that we are unable to sell your luxury goods, the reasons are usually easily identified & discussed with a number of actionable directives proposed to have goods swiftly sold.

  • There's very little that we don't accept. If in doubt, send us an email and we'll happily inform you of our standing on your goods.

  • Within the UK there's a flat rate. Outside0 of the UK this rate can vary greatly depending on your proximity to the UK.

  • A digital camera isn't required. You can use your phone to take images of your luxury goods - most phones have HD cameras these days.

    If this process is more hassle than it's worth, Pearlly can send out a representative who will capture the relevant images of your goods. This service does carry a minimum £60 charge. Since better images are proven to increase the value of goods at sale - we highly recommend it.

  • Pearlly is not a storage company but we do offer storage space for luxury goods on the basis that an agreement has already been set up to sell goods on behalf of their owner.

  • Yes, we can still pay out for goods that've been damaged, however, this will of course affect the price negatively.

  • Whenever you need it collected. Pearlly can have goods collected within a week, within a few days, & even on the same day we're first contacted in some urgent cases.

Payment

  • It's anywhere between 15% - 25% of the item's current retail value on the day. That is, the amount it's currently being sold for by the designer or brand. In some cases, goods do receive more, or less depending on the nature of the goods & depending on the specifics of the sale.

  • There are two types of arrangements that we have for payment of luxury goods :

    Instant payout : This arrangement is for all matters urgent. This arrangement usually delivers a lower payout.

    Payout upon sale : This arrangement enables Pearlly take your luxury goods and secure sales for them prior to a payout. This arrangement usually delivers a higher payout but means waiting a period anywhere between 6 - 12 weeks to be paid.

Charity

  • Current timelines are between 1 - 3 days for collection of items being donated to charity. This can be made more of a priority depending on the circumstances and location.
